There are some interesting primary sources – in this case photos and propaganda posters – to browse and learn more about WWI.
Step 1. Please go to this website: http://www.gwpda.org/photos/coppermine/index.php and choose one image from four of the six categories below: (note that there are many pages of photos of each category -- see menu bar at bottom right of each page)
o Weapons and Equipment
o Animals at War
o War at Sea
o Troops
o Death and Destruction
o War in the Skies
Step 2. Choose a photo, paste it into a Pages document, and then give a 1-line description of the image and a 1-line description of why you chose it. (After this step, you should have four pictures and four descriptions.)
Step 3. Learn more about the impact of WWI on the home front by reviewing these propaganda posters posted at this website. (Scroll down the page to see the posters.) Propaganda is information (may be of a biased or misleading nature), used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
Step 4. Choose a poster, paste it into the same Pages document, and then give a 1-line description of the poster and a 1-line description of why you chose it.
Step 5. Please email this Pages document to me when finished including this text on the subject line: WWI assignment. What you do not finish in class will be homework.
Thank you. Saool. Danke. Merci. Spasibo.
Bonus points if you figure out which languages each of these words relates to/what they mean and include a clear description in your email.
